Art that tells your story

I GRADUATED FROM WINCHESTER SCHOOL OF ART IN 1997 WITH A DEGREE IN TEXTILES AND FASHION WHERE I FOCUSED MY STUDIES ON SCREEN PRINTED TEXTILES AND HAVE BEEN WORKING IN GREETINGS CARDS AND STATIONERY EVER SINCE. 

FOR THE FIRST 8 YEARS I WAS AN IN-HOUSE ILLUSTRATOR FOR LING DESIGN, WINNING MANY INDUSTRY AWARDS FOR MY GREETING CARD RANGES. I THEN WENT ON TO WORK AT PORTICO DESIGNS AS AN ILLUSTRATOR.

THEN FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS I HAVE WORKED AS A CREATIVE DIRECTOR HAVING OVERALL CONTROL ON THE GREETINGS CARDS COLLECTIONS AND RUNNING MULTIPLE CREATIVE TEAMS IN THREE GREETINGS CARD COMPANIES. 

PAPERCLIP CARDS BV IN THE NETHERLANDS, LING DESIGN AND ELLE MEDIA GROUP THAT SPECIALISE IN WORKING WITH CHARITIES ON THEIR FUNDRAISING CARD COLLECTIONS, FROM NATIONAL TRUST TO BARNARDOS.

I HAVE NOW OPENED MY OWN DESIGN STUDIO IN THE HEART OF SOMERSET WHERE I COMBINE ALL MY EXTENSIVE COMMERCIAL UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE OF THE GREETINGS CARD AND STATIONERY INDUSTRY WITH MY IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF BUILDING COLLECTIONS FOR RETAIL.

MY DESIGN STYLE IS ECLECTIC AND I LOVE TO SKETCH, I HAVE A LOVE FOR WATERCOLOUR AND AM ALSO VERY EXPERIENCED IN DIGITAL PAINTING
